Guys,
I think we have lost Viv. Looking on her FB page, it would appear she lost her fight with Cancer.
Sad times indeed :-(

Viv as in Primrose?
-
Yup, RIP Primrose. :o(

:(

RIP :(
-
Such sad news - I didn't realise she was so ill :'(
-
This is terrible news. I hadn't heard from her in a while on fb :'(
-
Really sad news, she was a lovely woman, and we had some great Welsh rides together.
-
She was indeed one of a kind, and I am sure she is looking down on us with her smile as she normally does.
I don't want to lose any more friends, please let this be the last..
-
:( We went on some nice rides together and she was always good company when we all met up :)
-
I knew Viv very well, we went on several european tours together in a group. She was an incredible woman, brave and mad enuff to go touring europe on her bike, a great spirit.Always made me think of joanna Lumley with her "semi posh" voice and her style..... I hear this news with great sadness. I knew of her battle with cancer,I didnt realise she was that ill either. She gave up biking a couple of years ago, and we drifted apart somewhat. A very sad day indeed. RIP. :(

Not a very flattering photo. but right in the middle among her fellow foccers. RIP Viv, sadly missed x
-
I remember meeting Viv at a couple of Foccers meets, the BOTW one that peejay has posted a piccie from, and also one at Stratford, where I took a not very flattering picture of her which we had a bit of banter about when I posted it on Foc-U afterwards. Viv also sent me some lovely messages of support when my father-in-law lost his battle with cancer in 2005.
RIP Viv
-
She was a mean rider and always so positive- shame!
-
I had a text last night, not sure who from to say Viv had passed away. Sadly no-one knew in time to attend funeral. She was a lovely lady, full of good kind words. She will be missed.
Rest in peace Viv "Primrose". Thank you for your friendship.
-
Im sure she came down on one of the Paignton Bike Night trips years ago.
Another foccer lost.
RIP Viv

Rip Viv

that's a sad bit of news. the only time I met Viv was at my first Dare meet.
-
She actually had been on foc -u a long time. I have known her since 2004 when we went on our first mci trip with dek. We had a pre tour meet up in north wales, and I met her at crossgates. I was immediately impressed with her, a cultured posh voice, long dark hair, and she was a good bike rider. She was special, and was always there to lend an ear, and keep us gang of lads in order .
My fondest moment is from the 2005 trip when we had to ride up the pyrenees in a rainstorm, and she just rode like it wasnt raining , no fuss, no wobbling ...tremendous ! made us all look wusses tbh ....lol
-
I never met her, but I remember her posts, sad news indeed.
-
She showed me the route from Abergavenny down to Chepstow- a brilliant ride
Our group is going for a ride on Friday so we are going to do that plus the Wye valley up through Tintern- she loved that road I am sure as all bikers do
RIP ViV- in our thoughts on Friday
I followed her on Primrose with a lady on an R6 who's name I forget- sorry- as far as Chepstow. It was probably five years ago
She knew the road and I didnt- she had some fun with me trying to keep up with her and had a twinkle in her eye when we got to the garage at Chepstow.
She said where do you want to go now and I said back the other way- if you havent done that road give it a try and think of ViV while you are on the road
we do it several times a year- it is that good
Sad loss- too few lady bikers amongst us
-
I am shocked as I've only just heard this news. Viv was a lovely, sweet lady and a dear friend. I feel a little awkward now and don't quite know what to say. I remember the day I met her, outside Black Mountain Yamaha and invited her to join us on a ride, there went her introduction to the FOC-U.
I last saw her at our New Years Day meet in the Plas Derwen in 2010 and she told me then that she was in remission. I am terribly sad to say that, that was the last time we spoke.
God Bless Ya Primrose/Rosebud/Viv a true lady and a dear friend. I will miss you. xxx :'(
-
Madders- we are passing through Abergavenny bus station tomorrow morning about 10:45-11am and then heading up her route if you want to join us.
Was to be quite a few but they saw the forecast and cried off- 2-4 bikes coming now

I only knew her on here and I offer my heartfelt sympathies to those of you who held her dear. Look upon it as God gaining another shining light for his great biking community.

Dolau, long time no speak matey. I was aware you were doing this but alas, I'm working at 4 and my bike has a dead battery at the mo. My thoughts will be with you though. :o
